INTERLEUKIN-6 IN RESPONSE TO HIGH INTENSITY AND MODERATE INTENSITY EXERCISE TRAINING IN AFRICAN AMERICAN INDIVIDUALS
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)
Skeletal muscle has been identified as an endocrine organ that releases myokines with contraction. These myokines have been defined as cytokines and peptides that are produced, expressed, and released by muscle fibers that ...
INFLUENCE OF MATERNAL EXERCISE TYPE ON MATERNAL AND INFANT METABOLIC HEALTH
(East Carolina University, 2020-06-22)
Purpose: Current research supports that chronic exercise in the non-pregnant population promotes metabolic adaptations at rest (reduction in glucose, lactate, lipids), but little is known of the maternal metabolic adaptations ...
THE INFLUENCE OF EXERCISE BEFORE AND DURING PREGNANCY ON OFFSPRING HEART FUNCTION AND DEVELOPMENT
(East Carolina University, 2020-06-22)
Maternal exercise during pregnancy is quickly becoming a trend that has been shown to have benefits for fetal and infant development (e.g. heart health and development). Most studies examining the influence of exercise ...
C-REACTIVE PROTEIN AND EXERCISE INTENSITY IN AFRICAN AMERICANS
(East Carolina University, 2020-06-22)
Racial health disparities have been shown in Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) with African Americans having a substantially greater risk compared to Caucasian Americans. One potential factor explaining racial differences in ...
Effects of a high fat diet and/or overload on striated muscle structure, function, or metabolism
(East Carolina University, 2020-12-03)
Consumption of a high fat diet combined with physical inactivity is associated with many adverse health effects including obesity, insulin resistance/type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease/myocardial infarction. The ...
Effects of a before school physical activity program on physical activity, musculoskeletal fitness, and cognitive function
(East Carolina University, 2015)
Regular physical activity is important for everybody, but may be especially beneficial for children. Despite this, most children in the United States do not meet physical activity recommendations. Schools are a prime ...
Effect of Exercise Training on Metabolic Syndrome z-score : the Association of C- reactive protein
(East Carolina University, 2015-06-25)
PURPOSE: Previous studies have shown that metabolic syndrome z-score (MetSynZ) is improved with exercise training. Metabolic syndrome is based upon insulin resistance, such that it would be expected for insulin resistance ...
The Relationship between Gait Biomechanics and Body Mass Index
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Walking gait is one of the basic components of human movements. With the rising obesity epidemic and implied health complications, it is pertinent to examine the relationship between body mass index and the joint torques ...
THE EFFECTS OF CIRCADIAN RHYTHM ON INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE AND CYTOKINE LEVELS IN HEPATIC MACROPHAGES
(East Carolina University, 2014)
In mammals, many aspects of daily behavior and physiology such as the sleep-wake cycle, body temperature, and liver metabolism are regulated by endogenous circadian mechanisms. Despite tissue-specific physiological ...
Does Dog Ownership Affect the Owners' Quality of Motivation to Engage in Physical Activity?
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Using the framework of the self-determination theory (SDT), the current study compared men and women dog owners' and non-dog owners' a) physical activity levels, b) perceived competence, autonomy, and relatedness during ...
